LONDON — Human rights groups said Tuesday they've asked WikiLeaks to censor secret files on the Afghanistan war to protect civilians who've worked alongside the U.S. and other foreign forces from reprisals.

A US Congressman has called for the bloke who leaked secret documents to Wikileaks to be executed. Congressman Mike Rogers says he supports execution for the soldier involved if he is ultimately found guilty. This splendid example of humanity is a Republican who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, which must shorely be some mishtake.
Marc A. Thiessen - WikiLeaks must be stopped
Let's be clear: WikiLeaks is not a news organization; it is a criminal enterprise.Should America tolerate Wikileaks or destroy it like any other national security threat?
